The CDC isn't some independent gov't organization. It's a part of the executive branch of government. The organization is under the president's Secretary of Health and Human Services.

He does not have full control the way a business owner does. Even if he took drastic action (and imagine how that would have ended - "Trump told people to drink bleach and then fired the CDC in the middle of a pandemic to get people to take hydroxychloroquine!!1!") it would get challenged and delayed and Trump would have legitimately lost the election, among other things. Like he said, your POV is too childish to know how these things work. It's like the 0bama voters who thought 0bama could just hop in like Superman and wave his magic wand and make everything go the way he wanted to.

I don't know why you have DJT telling people to drink bleach. How does that help your point. As to the cdc you say "FIRE THEM ALL" and that was NEVER a option but changing the head of the c-19 taskforce with someone you trust was easy to do you just have to be a strong leader and make important calls for the good of all. He didn't so live it like all the rest...well...not all.

Says the guy that doesn't think the president of the United States has control over the executive branch.

I didn't say anything about Trump firing anybody. Why do libs have to make up a counterargument in order to pose their own?

So just answer a couple of relevant questions -

Could Trump have not had Fauci on the WH Coronavirus Task Force?

When all the bullshite "Covid stats" started driving an inaccurate/politically-driven narrative in the country, could Trump have done anything to get to the bottom of the numbers that were leading the Covid response shitshow? Or could democrats running the CDC just tell him to frick off?
